Fun things to do in the Park

1. Mountain Biking: There are two bike trails in Algonquin. The Minnesing which is a mountain bike trail located beside Canisbay campground and the old railroad bed trail that goes between Rock Lake and Mew Lake campgrounds.
2. Hiking: There are tons of trails to hike while in the park. A trail that I recommend first thing in the morning is the Lookout Trail. The sunsets are beautiful.
3. Canoeing: There are plenty of places that you can go on a day trip. One day trip that is really nice is Lake of Two Rivers to Mew Lake Falls. You can put in at the East Beach Picnic area and canoe Lake of Two Rivers in to the Madawaska river. You will eventually come across a small set of falls. You can swim in the falls if you want.
4. Museums: There are two museums that you can go to. The Visitor Center across from Spruce Bog Boardwalk and The Logging Museum by the East Gate. Both show you the history of Algonquin Park!

Enjoy your time exploring Algonquin!

Welcome!

I hope this blog will be very insightful into Algonquin Provincial Park. I grew up camping in Pog Lake and Canisbay Campgrounds. My family and I have ventured on many canoe trips into the interior of Algonquin. The park hasn’t changed much in the last 27 years except for ownership. It used to be owned by the Government of Ontario but now it is contracted out to Ontario Parks. Prices have risen over the years but really it is worth paying them. The chances of seeing wildlife within the park is huge. Your best chance to see moose is in the spring in the bogs along the Hwy 60 corridor and in rivers and streams in the interior. You have a good chance on seeing loons anytime on one of the many lakes. I hope that this blog will help you plan a trip into the park whether it be in one of the campgrounds or into the interior. As well I hope that you learn a thing or too about my favorite place in the world. Enjoy!
